A question for you: I know you will get married if you are not now and may have one kid at least at age 35. What will you be doing if you are here then without filing for 485. Will you have the same LEVEL of optimistic thinking? Answer honestly.
Then he has to change his ID from rpatel to GCBy2013:eek: and he will be stuck with the same employer:eek: but I feel that he will still be optimistic until he turns 47;)
No offense, just wanted to lighten up the mood of you guys. Let's all agree on the year 2007 to end this mess.

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA.
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or Canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou
Yes salaries and opportunities are greater in US. I am not denying that. Actually
an Indian family friend of mine here in U of T, his wife happens to be born outside
India. I always advice them to keep an eye on opportunities in US, GC is worth the hassle for him.
With 2 kids you get tax benefits from Govt. Yes its hard. But its even harder and risky with
H1B in US. Taxes are high and so I am now planning to work as sole proprietorship
, something that I am not allowed to do in US.
Socialist Health care can never be equal to privatized health care in US.
In Canada you pay in terms of wait times (but not as bad as the private insurance lobby is portraying in US nowadays)
But if it is non emergency and needs long waiting I can get that done in India as well.
Skilled immigration is closed for non IT managers now.
Actually US has lately liberalized the TN1 visa for Canadians. It used to be 1 year but lately increased to 3 years. As H1Bs are squeezed out of US, the demand for non H1B needing people will increase and that can benefit TN1 visa holders.

Sc3 and other friends. Here is what has triggered this bad blood on the forum
Apr VB EB2 is U and EB3 is doing well every one is normal exactly like every other VB no surge of threads and replies everything is normal
July VB Eb2 is in Apr 2004 and Eb3 is in U again every thing is normal
Aug VB Now suddenly Eb2 is 2006 and Eb3 is U ( no change) and all of a sudden there is a flood of e-mails complaining injustice against EB3. I think the timing of when Eb3 folks realized injuistice is what ticked off many.
I am not saying every one shares this feeling but just the sheer volumes of posting on this thread speaks for itself. I am sure many do not agree with me (or least pretent not to agree) Any one can query Eb3 injuistice posting before Aug VB and compare it since this bulletin was posted and see the data speaks for itself we do not need any body to prove anything
In fact looking at statistics posted by sachug22 here (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=265004&postcount=20), it looks like it is EB2 that got shafted all along and finally DOS/USCIS realized their folly and tried to correct the spillover rule starting this april (as explained in July'08 bulletin). This re-interpretation does not affect EB3-I negatively. I do not know why so many are getting riled up over EB2 progress.

Mohican,
Good luck with the MTR, I hope your attorneys are able to file it ASAP, and your 485 gets reopened even faster.
I switched employers about a year or so after my 485 had been filed (140 approved) and my employer has informed me that they are going to have to revoke my 140 soon.
The attorneys at the new employer's filed AC21, G28, etc., but looking at everyone's experience, I too am expecting to get a denial or at best, a NOID/RFE once the 140 is revoked.
I don't have answers to your questions unfortunately, but I would think that even if the 140 was used for someone else, you shouldn't need a new one, since you switched employers after 180 days of 140 approval, and for those 180 days the 140 was not revoked/reused. Of course, an attorney has to confirm this.
Please do keep us posted on how things go, how long the MTR takes, etc.
In the meantime, do you have to go on unpaid leave, because of your EAD becoming invalid or do you have backup status such as the H-1B?
Thanks very much and good luck,

I am assuming , those who are eligible can file for 485 during the entire month of July , irrespective of next bulletin for August that will be released sometime between Jul 10th and 15th. (Can some one please confirm.)
Thanks (always) to IV and congratulations. Does any one know why Waldenpond said it is best to apply by the the of 2nd July.
Once again congratulations :)
1st July is Sunday!!! so we have to apply on 2nd July..

Is it possible to upgrade from EB3 to EB2, if person is working on EAD after AC21 is invoked and H1 is expired?
I believe it is possible if your company is willing to do it. Having said that, you would be better off asking this question to a qualified lawyer.

In real life, when resources become less and scarce - even blood relatives fight and kill each other. We here don't even know each other.
The only solution is to create more resources to avoid fighting - Please donate for advocacy days and hopefully we won't need to be in the mess any longer.

All I hear is "incorrect", "wrong" followed by individual interpretation or opinion. I respect all disagreement part, Which may be/not be accurate. Why don't you quantify your comments with references to law or CIS memo? Don't you think discussion need to be healthy and fair?

Read it, Understand it and then please let me know if you still think that OP was in "unauthorized work", as this is what you have written before
The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work".

Hey Risker,
It is a FACT that you/your class is more agrieved than any other possible class. But we need to be high on intellect and low on emotions. There is reason to wait till SEP. Besides although I am not sure but Labor and I-140s are for the Employers and Employees take over only in the I-485 stage. So we need to strategize instead of doing wishfull thinking. Its lot usefull if we be analytical in these threads rather than pouring out emotions.

Hope your ideas or similar ones work. But seriously�.. if someone isn�t contributing 50/100 bucks, will he/she be willing to get IV credit cards.
From my experience I would like to say contribution is simple. Hard part for me was to convince myself that this was right thing to do. I don�t think it will be about monitory constraints for most of us.
While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

Good morning,
If you pay a closer attention, I don't start threads. I just reply to messages following that topics you started. The real issue is that many members in this forum are so biased that you cannot take a different view.
For example, yesterday many in this noble forum became so uneasy and angry as soon as I mentioned that shift from democrats to republicans was triggered solely by the disatisfaction with the Iraq war. It turned out that Bil O'Reilly last night said the same thing. That is based on facts, because exit survey according to O'Reilly, did not indicate that people voted against Republicans due to other issues such as immigration. Then I went on and even showed articles from liberal newspapers such as The Nation to confirm my sources. CNN published e-mails from several voters on why they voted against republicans and immigration was not even mentioned in that sample. If you do not want to believe that and prefer to follow other views, that is fine. My point is, I won't get mad with you. I won't request that administrators shut you down. You have the option to do so. However, saying that my analysis is off base and I bring here unrelated topcis is not true. There are reputable people out there who agree with me. Grow up and learn how to deal with the reality.
What amazes me is that those are not fundamental issues for you to discuss and get so mad about. Who cares now on why people voted republicans out? For you and me it matters that we take you greencard and move on. I feel that it is my way to contribute when I admonish you about distorted views. Bringing that level of critical thinking may strength your maturity and knowledge and that can certainly increase your skills in the fight for immigration relief for the employment based immigrants.
Best regards,
The Ombudsman
